Expeditions


The Ornithology Collection continues to grow thanks to the tireless efforts of the division's curators, students and collaborators. The Ornithology group has carried out more than 55 expeditions to 24 countries, with one of the most active global bird sampling programs of any institution worldwide. The result is a systematic collection of birds that includes modern, data-rich, and highly research-useful specimens: the third largest avian osteological collection in the world, and the second most diverse avian tissue collection in the world.
